CNN is reporting a new press release obtyained by Al Jazeera in which new threats are made against Washington DC and New York. Anderson Cooper of CNN was interviewing the AJ reporter who believed the 6 page statement to be credible and certainly from a senior Al Qaeda member, possibly the official Al Qaeda press office. The message threatened attacks unless the US stops supporting Israel.

The statement also called on Americans to convert to Islam

Finally they are getting to the real crux of the matter.

Americans to convert to Islam...

Yeh right, I'm going right out and buy some material to make a burga....

[prisoner6]

for a bunch of stupid goat-fanciers, they've sure learned how to manipulate the media.

Surely you've heard, "Birds of a feather flock together."

He ...justified the killings of American civilians because they pay taxes that finance military operations.

He ought to see what the government does to us when we refuse to pay taxes.

[Archie Bunker on steroids]

and justified the killings of American civilians because they pay taxes that finance military operations.

If I quit paying taxes do you think they'll leave me alone?

unless America stops supporting Israel and converts to Islam

Oh Allah,
Hilassi, salami, baloni

The statement also called on Americans to convert to Islam, he said.

Yah, I agree VRWC. Seems they want us to GIVE them something that they'll have to fight a long and bloody war to get otherwise. All of Islam are nothing but cowards.

[Sacajaweau]

I think (hope) they're just into publicity right now...just looking for reactions.

I think that's probably just a poor translating job... 'ironic', 'hypocritical', or 'unconscionable' were probably closer to the intended meaning.

Oh, on a lighter note, I went to high school with Anderson Cooper, the CNN host. So seeing him reminded me of something.

At an annual talent show he did a comedy bit on stage and he walked onto the stage wearing t-shirt, black tights, an 18" balloon and two tennis balls tucked down his pants. This was in 1985 which is when he graduated high school.

Without naming the school, lets just say it is the most exclusive private school in NYC. When I was there other students included the children of Tom Brokaw, Robert Redford, and Ralph Lauren. Super liberal crowd.

About 13 months late but what the heck...
Welcome.

These threats are getting out of control. Are we going to sit back and totally do nothing and let these things continue? I'm in a foul mood anyway today, and seeing these stupid threats make me madder. I say let's NUKE'EM and get it over and done with!!!

Oh, how weird that you don't care for 1.5 million Iraqi children who died under siege

Now it's 1.5 million. Surely this takes the cake for exaggeration of these statistics.

[muawiyah]

There are already plenty of Moslems in New York and WarshDC. Al Qaida doesn't care - they have been murdering them all along.

That's why I say AlQaida members are "not true Moslems". That's a code word among Moslems that makes it OK to kill somebody - that they are not really a Moslem anymore!

It is an obligation of every true Moslem to rise up and kill anyone affiliated with AlQaida - I think that extends to their immediate families as well - you just can't be too careful.

It will certainly be better for them to pass on at the hands of their co-religionists than to wait around for the fused glass treatment the American military has available for them.

The statement also called on Americans to convert to Islam, he said.

Oh wow, now we are being forced to change our religious beliefs by these scums of the earth.

Never, never, never.

This is unbelievable.

Thanks, I'm thinking about trying out for MLB.

[concerned about politics]

I say let's NUKE'EM and get it over and done with!!!

Another "Nuke Mecca" member. This movement is growng, aye?

[laconic]

I don't know a soul in DC who is scared of these scumbos.
